Yes and no. Most certainly we are all connected to Source energy, and we can all connect with our higher selves and guides to a certain degree if we work hard enough at it. But can anyone be psychic?

It is my experience that if you take the time to meditate and connect, then you can get some messages, and can tune into some energies. We all have energy around us that we can become more aware of with practice. We can do work on our Chakras (energy systems), and learn to listen when our intuition tells us something.

However, I do believe that some of us were born to this world with a gift of being psychic. Most babies, for a time after birth, remember home and where they came from. For the majority, this memory fades with time unless they decided before being born that being psychic was going to be a part of their lives while here.

Every person on the planet was born with a gift. Some were born with the gift of having the ability to play the piano, or write music, or sing, or heal others, or play hockey, or work with numbers, or be a mom, or pay attention to detail, or organize, or build things…the list is endless.

We all have our own gifts, the things that we are the best at. Anyone can learn how to play hockey, or piano, or get organized, or develop intuition. But, no matter how hard you try, if it is not your gift, you cannot be as effective at it as someone who was born to do it.

I am not saying don’t take the time to meditate and listen and develop your intuition. It can be a very useful tool for you. Just because my gift is being psychic doesn’t mean I can’t learn to play the piano if I want, or play hockey if I feel like it. I just know that if I do those things, it won’t be to play in “The Radio City Music Hall” or the NHL.

What I am saying is that being psychic is not for everyone, and it doesn’t necessarily come easy if you weren’t born that way. For me being psychic and knowing things and talking to dead people is my gift. I don’t have to try at it. I meditate because it grounds me, keeps me firmly planted in the earth reality and helps to clear my energy. I don’t need to meditate to enhance my gifts. I used to think that what I did was not special because it came to me so easily. Over the years though I have realized just how hard it can be for others.

So, can you be psychic? If you were born that way, most certainly. If you weren’t, then maybe you can enhance your ability to use your intuition and feel energies, but it might be more worth your time to focus on the gifts that you DO have and use them to fulfill your life purpose.

We are in some very tough times right now.  So many shifts and changes.  We need to open up our hearts and feel the love.  When you are going through tough times, really all you can do is stay out of your own way, and let things carry on.  Even when it appears we are losing everything, it brings to the forefront what is really important in life.

So many of you are worried about money and safety and security.  That is just the times we are living in.  As  inhabitants of this world, we need to take care of her.  In our quest to be rich and comfortable we are raping the earth, and are putting an awful lot of importance onto things that don’t matter.

This isn’t really working for very many people.  All it is creating is more discord.  The absolute terror of losing everything.  Some are afraid of Armageddon some are just afraid of losing all that they have worked so hard for.

It is important to go back to love and living in the moment.  Every day that you are feeling afraid, or panicked is a day wasted.  You need to focus on what is really important to you.  Do you even want to be here to play the game of life?

You worry about your finances, but do you concern yourself with love when you are stressed?  How many of you are stressed out about money, and come home and yell at your kids or your spouse? 

Its time to stop and think about what is really important.  If you have any people around you at all, if you have any love in your heart, you need to focus on that.  That is what is important.

You may think “Yes, but I don’t want to lose my home”.  What if you lost a loved one instead?  What is important to you? 

A lot of people think “I’ve worked so hard for this, I don’t want to lose it all”.  If you do lose things, you can get it back again if it is still important to you later. Its important to remember that.  For some folks, losing things is the only way that they can move on and feel the love.

There can be so much stress produced by trying to hold onto something, that some of you will alienate those that are closest to you.  You may lose sight of the everyday moments that could bring joy and love.  Instead, you may find yourself worrying about all the external stuff that in the big scheme of things doesn’t really matter anyway.

Your chances of making it through these tough times will improve if you can find the love and the light in each moment here on earth.  So you lose some of your belongings, truly that is very uncomfortable and would suck big time.  However, if you still had a roof over your head, even if not in the ‘ideal” surroundings, would you be grateful that you still had your health, or your family, or just a feeling of inner peace and love?

This might sound very simple, but it is important that as many people as possible get it.  What affects one, affects all.  We are all one.  The more people that can feel the love and happiness in each and every moment, the more comfortable and calm it will be for everyone.  As you cultivate your own feelings of love and gratitude, you will impact those around you, and those on the other side of the globe.

A lot of you might think, “Oh, that’s easy for you to say, you are psychic, you have it so easy”.  That is not the case.  Yes, I  am psychic, and yes I can see things.  I can also say that my husbands work is his own construction company and has always paid about 70% of our bills.  Since last September, the construction company hasn’t been making much money.  My husband has only been working about 4-6 days a month, not at all last fall when he was recovering from his broken leg.  So, I DO understand.  We are in the same boat as most other people right now.  We are not above and beyond being impacted by the energy of the ‘whole’.

I can say, one of the biggest differences between us and you (maybe), is the way we feel about things.  As a family we are spending a lot of time together.  We (well, my husband), have planted a vegetable garden in our yard, we have planted berries, we take time out each day, to be thankful that we still have a yard.  We focus on how much we love each other and how wonderful it is to have this moment.   So far, we have a roof over our heads and food on the table.  We have had to cut back on a lot of things that are not 100% necessary for our basic survival.  I’ve had to call a couple of people to let them know I will pay them when I can, just not today.

For now though, I will not be sucked into the vortex of feeling lousy.  I chose to feel the love and joy that the majority of my moments can bring.  You can find little bits of love and joy if you just open up your heart and allow yourself to see and feel them.

Two months from now, who knows.  Maybe I will be writing blog posts from a rented apartment.  The thing is, if I am healthy and I have love and gratitude I know I will be okay.  Things will not stay like this unless the collective consciousness of the human race gives up all hope and refuses to learn anything; refuses to focus on LOVE and what is really important.  I am more optimistic than that.  I believe that together we can make a difference – each and every one of you reading this can have an impact.  I have said before, we need to find our light and the love and spread it around as much as we can, as we do that, we allow others to do that as well.

Please stay in the moment, stay hopeful, stay your pure and loving self, and spread it around.  It WILL make a difference!
